Numbers don't lie: Tigers' Riley Greene is already among MLB's elite outfielders

Riley Greene's stats make him the best hitting left fielder in the AL and essential to the Tigers.

By nearly every metric, Riley Greene is one of the best left fielders in all of baseball.

Tigers POBO Scott Harris doesn't elicit confidence or excitement among the fan base.

The Detroit Tigers have signed Eli Villalobos to a minor league contract.Villalobos was DFA’d by the Marlins in mid May, and elected free agency at the beginning of the June. In his 3 appearances at the MLB level this season, he pitched a 2.08 ERA over 4.1 innings with 3Ks.

The Tigers are also 30th in MLB in first pitch swing % (a whole 1.6% behind 29th) while being 4th to last (27th) in MLB in team OBP.
how many fastballs down the middle each team has seen, and how many they did not swing at.

Canha always seems to start 2-0 and always seems to swing at the 3rd pitch. My useless "seems like" trivia for the day..

 

[tomdalton22]

down 2-0 after 2 innings. Mize with 54 pitches already. He can't miss a bat. The last batter saw 13 pitches. 3 balls, fouled off 9, and then flew out.

We'll probably see Wentz tonight.

The Detroit Tigers have been held to 1 or fewer run in 18 of 72 games so far this year.

25 games with 2 or less runs = 35%
34 games with 3 or less runs = 47 %
Tigers have a 50/50 shot at just scoring 3 runs.

1 hit and 2 errors already tonight by another pitcher with an ERA over 5.00

 

[biggunsbob]

According to Dickerson Mize is getting screwed by this ump.

Come on hitters. Do something

 

[tomdalton22]

Tigers hits...unfortunately, they are getting hit. I guess that is one way to get on base

Frustrating.

 

[biggunsbob]

1 freaking hit in 5 innings. Nice team Harris. Will this offense ever wake up :/

 

[biggunsbob]

Mark fails to put the ball in play with Greene on third with a lead off triple.
Can Gio pick him up.
Yes single. 2-1 now.

 

[Mitchrapp]

6.32 ERA shutting us down.

 

[biggunsbob]

6.32 ERA shutting us down.

Seems like any pitcher can shut us down nowadays sadly.

The new Harris hitting approach is working so well. lol.
how many hitting coaches do we have ?

Fire all of them !

 

[biggunsbob]

He throws 80% curveballs and this jackass is sitting fastball.
Mckinstry Watches a bender drop right in.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sigh. Tigers still stuck at 1.

 

[kalinecountry]

We can forget about Lange coming back anytime soon.
